NHTSA Complaint #10451870 — 2011 CHRYSLER 200

MY CHRYSLER 200 LIMITED THAT I PURCHASED IN MAY 2011 HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF SPORADICALLY WHILE STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME THREE TIMES IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS (MID-FEB THROUGH MARCH 2012). I HAVE HAD IT SERVICED TWICE TO TRY TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT BOTH TIMES I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE BECAUSE NO COMPUTER CODES FOR MALFUNCTIONS CAN BE DETECTED. IT SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING WHILE THE ENGINE IS IDLING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON SEVERAL VERY BUSY ROADS, AND HAS LEFT ME WITH MY FLASHERS ON IN THE MIDDLE OF PARKWAYS IN THE CITY WITH 6 LANES OF TRAFFIC. I RUN A SERIOUS RISK OF BEING REAR-ENDED. I HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, AND TURN THE KEY TO "OFF" AND THEN TURN THE IGNITION BACK ON AGAIN BEFORE I CAN GO. THE CAR STARTS UP FINE AND HAS NOT AS OF YET HAPPENED AGAIN DURING THE SAME TRIP. IT IS UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS THAT A BRAND NEW VEHICLE IS DOING THIS. *TR
